@17caterpillars1mouse

Has anybody seen a unicorn hobby horse anywhere? John Lewis used to have them but out of stock now. I've seen some on etsy buy way too over budget at around £90 each

The Works normally have them

@Onlyahalfbottle my DS asked for that dinosaur last year and has probably played with it once! Other DS got the remote control car one and that's barley been looked at either!

@RJnomore1

See this scottish hampers site...

😳😬😂
Sure it’s ok?

Too soon

I am loving all the bargains this year and getting some great ideas thank you so much to everyone posting

My little boy will be 3 and a half at Christmas, I have bought some great bargains through here but the only thing he wants is a car wash toy, he is obsessed with car washes in general but I am struggling for an idea on this one. Has anyones kids had any good car wash toys? Random I know haha. Thanks

My son got the hot wheels one for Xmas a couple of years ago and still loves it. It connects to his other hot wheels track and you can get colour changing cars to go with it.

On the Boots website it says

* We’re in the process of updating all our packaging, to create a new look and feel for No7. Rest assured, the formulation of our products you’ve come to love remains the same.*

When I went to a medium-sized Boots this afternoon they had lots of the old-packaging items priced at £5, including this, my favourite mascara, and this eyelash serum.

Dunelm have some nice large cuddly toys for £10-12 like this T-Rex. I’ve just ordered the giraffe for DD(1) who loves a cuddly as big as her www.dunelm.com/product/blue-t-rex-teddy-1000190761?defaultSkuId=30739303

Also, seeing this thread today has really cheered me up after a miserable few weeks with Covid so thanks @Reastie and everyone

Sorry @torthecatlady I couldn’t resist

@Greenhand not goth, but not overtly girly, and a good price

if anyone needs an ocado referral code, happy to pm you my link. think it now gives you a £25 bundle of items to choose from tho.

Joules now up to 60% off sale

Hatchimals advent calendar is down to £18.64 on Amazon this morning - it has been £24.99 the last few weeks so a good saving.

Sadly the snaffling pig advent calendar I want for myself was up from £17.50 to £20 so I am hoping for that to come back down again!

Been on many Xmas bargain threads, but sorry to be jumping on with my first post this year being a request for help...
Not Christmas, but dh's 50 birthday coming up and I need a present! I have a couple of experience things but think he'll be disappointed on the day to get nothing solid. Not a big drinker, likes football, probably like a techy gadget but don't now what's "new"? Doesn't need a new phone. Any ideas gratefully accepted!

Iggi999 what about wireless earbuds or an iwatch?

I bought my DH an Apple Watch for his 50th and he loves it

@BadgerFace Snaffling Pig £16.99 on IWOOT, £5 off your first order with a referral, I'll pop one on the referral thread if you are interested.

@iggi999 how about a metal detector? I've bought one for my DH. I paid £59 on amazon. Had really good reviews.

Or my dh really likes his wireless headphones for chilling out listening to music or if he wants to watch videos on his phone.

Thanks @Fuckingfuckssake I seem to have an account at IWOOT but I don’t think I’ve ever ordered - not sure if I’d qualify for a referral as I have an account but would love to try one!

@BadgerFace try this www.iwantoneofthose.com/referrals.list?applyCode=MARIE-RB9&tw

I’ve just had a code for a free desk calendar come through from photo box. Code looks generic. Would make a lovely extra gift.

Code FREEEASEL

3 Christmas Themed Pop its for £3.99. Might be a good stocking filler for fidget toy obsessed kids. amzn.to/3lfL3L7

Also seen the Playmobil Fire Engine is down to £25 on Amazon which seems to be a good price amzn.to/3Fl88E2

I always wonder, when people are posting Amazon deals (which have always gone back up in price when I click on them ) how did you find them in the first place? Amazon has so many deals is there a way to filter them to see the really good ones? Thanks

@Ck91 that looks excellent for just cost of delivery doesn’t it!

@Jedstre I have loads of stuff in my basket on Amazon and check it a couple of times a day - it'll tell you if any prices have changed. You can also set up alerts on Camel Camel Camel, or some people might follow pages that report bargains.

Speaking of which, if anyone is buying for a frozen fan there's an Anna doll for £6.50 on Amazon. Good price!

Half price Anna doll

@Ck91 thank you - desktop calendar ordered for just the £3.99 delivery cost. If anyone is interested, you just need the photobox app and the offer is at the top.
